2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Identification of Project and project proponent

The Shapoorji Pallonji Group (SP Group) is an Indian business conglomerate with a rich legacy of more

than 150 years and a consistently superior track record, it is committed towards excellence in each

domain of its operations. SP’s business interests cover construction (including residential, commercial,

industrial and infrastructure), real estate, infrastructure (comprising coal mining, power, ports and

roads), biofuels and agriculture, consumer products, electro-mechanical and MEP services, facades

and interiors, engineering, textiles, business automation and shipping and logistics. Group employs

over 23,000 people, has a group turnover of US $ 2.5 Billions and a strong presence in India and

internationally.

Simar Port Pvt. Ltd. (SPPL) - a wholly owned subsidiary of SP, is developing a deep draft, all weather,

multipurpose, direct berthing Chhara port, Village: Chhara-Sarkhadi, District- Gir Somnath, Gujarat

(the “Port”) under the concession granted by Gujarat Maritime Board to SPPL for the period of 30

years.

Chhara Port with the right marine conditions and sufficient back-up area is strategically positioned for

markets of North India, parts of West and Central India. M/s West Coast Liquid Terminal Pvt. Ltd. – a

100% subsidiary of SP Group, intends to build an independent third party terminal for LPG and bulk

liquids storage and handling at Chhara port (“Project”).

SP Group has identified LPG and liquid terminalling as one of key businesses for diversification of

group’s business interest and Chhara port has been selected as one of the most suitable site for the

following reasons:

Chhara port offers excellent depth up to 20 mtr. suitable for large vessels.

Port has sufficient land bank for development of LPG and liquid terminal.

The proposed project will provide natural extension of LNG terminal for which SP has already

applied for environment clearance and has completed public hearing.

Port is very well located to cater to largest LPG and Veg oils deficit region of North India and

parts of West and Central India.

Vicinity of port area is a low population zone and does not have Natural forest and ecological

sensitive area.

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project

2.2.1 LPG

Proposed terminal will cater to imports of bulk-refrigerated propane, butane and distribution of

pressurized LPG to the market. The operations philosophy will be as under:

Refrigerated propane and refrigerated butane will be received in the terminal through ships and will be

first stored in refrigerated, full containment double walled storage tanks separately.

WEST COAST LIQUID

TERMINAL PVT. LTD.




Propane and butane will then be heated, pumped to mounded tanks and stored separately.

Pressurized propane and butane will be transferred to mounded tanks for blending and making the

mixed LPG.

Pressurized propane, butane and mixed LPG will be dispatched from terminal through road tankers,

cross country pipeline, rails and/or ships.

Inter tank transfers and Pipeline transfers: The terminal would serve its customers by carrying out the

inter tank transfers via hoses.

Whenever required, product will be transferred from one ship to another ship using the shore pipelines

or through direct hoses.

2.2.2 POL and Vegetable Oils

Proposed terminal will cater to the bulk imports of POL and vegetable oil products and distribution to

the market. The operations philosophy will be as under:

Products will be received in the terminal through ships and also, through road tankers.

Product(s) will be stored in designated tanks and will be dispatched from terminal through road

tankers, cross country pipeline, rails and/or ships.

Inter tank transfers and Pipeline transfers: The terminal would serve its customers by carrying out the

inter tank transfers via hoses.

Whenever required, product will be transferred from one ship to another ship using the shore pipelines

or through direct hoses.

2.2.3 Jetty

A dedicated jetty (Maximum Length 350mt and Width 104.33mt) for loading and unloading of LPG and

liquid products vessels will be constructed by the project proponent to serve the customer’s ships

visiting the terminal. Turning circle will be approximately 7mt ahead from Jetty.

The terminal will also provide value added services like, blending, homogenization (circulation),

heating, chilling, tank cleaning etc as per the customer’s need. As part of the tank cleaning and

various other pipes cleaning, the wastes generated will be collected and stored in containers/tank and

disposed as per the approved guidelines of the MoEF & CC, Govt. of India.

2.3 Need for Project

More than 90% of country’s LPG consumption is in the domestic cooking segment, but a large

population still uses wood, bio-mass, kerosene etc for cooking, which creates health hazard for

7households due to unclean fuel. This project will be an important contributor in increasing LPG

penetration in the Northern, Western and Central parts of the country, for domestic cooking fuel

segment by enabling the LPG imports and thus, ensuring availability at the demand centres in cost-

effective manner. The project will also contribute to the needs of commercial segment and provide

impetus to industrial development in Northern, Western and Central parts of the country by making

clean fuel available and thus, replacing/ providing alternate to conventional solid and liquid fuels that

are not environment friendly.

WEST COAST LIQUID

TERMINAL PVT. LTD.




2.4 Demand Supply Gap

India is the third largest LPG importer in Asia and country will remain long-term short on LPG as local

production will not suffice the growing demand. The imports have grown significantly in the past 5

years from 32% to 45% of total demand and will continue to grow in future as well.

For Veg oils, India is world’s largest importer and 3rd largest consumer. The demand is expected to

grow by 4.5%-6% pa for the next 10 years driven by increase in per capita consumption due to

economic growth and growing population. Currently, India’s import dependency is more than 50% of

veg oil demand and it is unlikely that local production will grow enough to match demand growth due

to various factors like low yield, farming practices, technology, alternate crops etc.

2.5 Domestic/Export Markets

The proposed project will primarily cater to domestic demand through imports from overseas

destinations.

2.6 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

Temporarily, ~2,000 persons will be required during construction of terminal, jetty and associated

infrastructure. Upon commissioning of the terminal and for regular operation, ~70 persons will be on

direct employment and ~1,000 persons will be on indirect employment.

In addition to this, the proposed project will create a base for development of allied industries in the

region viz fabrication, construction, maintenance etc and thus, lead to further employments

opportunities.

3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed

site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be

highlighted

Chhara port provides very good marine conditions and the depth of 20mtr (max) that will enable

berthing of larger vessels and hence, will provide supply chain efficiency. Port is very well located to

the hinterlands of North, West and Central India. The port is located in seismic zone III. Vicinity of the

port area is a low population zone and does not have Natural forest and ecological sensitive area. This

greatly reduces the environmental risk and makes the port a good location for liquid and LPG storage

and handling.

3.4 Size or Magnitude of Operation

The maximum capacity of the proposed terminal will be approximately 10 Million tons of product

throughputs every year. Maximum storage capacity will be 185,200cbm for LPG and 400,000cbm for

liquid products.

3.5 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart

showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given)

West Coast Liquid Terminal Pvt. Ltd. will use their expertise and experience to build the terminal and

jetty to highest operational and safety standards and will provide storage and handling services for

LPG and liquid products. The terminal will play pivotal role in customer’s supply chain and facilitate

trade flow on import side. The terminal activities do not involve any sort of processing and/or

manufacturing. The storage terminal will receive the LPG from jetty through dedicated cryogenics

pipelines and will dispatch LPG through road tankers/vessels/pipelines/rails to the end markets. For

liquid products (POL and Vegetable Oils), the storage terminal will receive the products from ships

through dedicated jetty pipelines/ road tankers and will dispatch through

tankers/vessels/pipelines/rails to the end markets.

3.6 Raw Materials

The principal activity of the terminal is to provide storage and handling services only for LPG liquid

products (POL and Vegetable Oils). No manufacturing or processing activities are envisaged in the

project; hence no raw material is required for the proposed facilities.

3.7 Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any

should be briefly outlined

Wastewater generated from domestic activities, floor washes will be treated in STP and reuse for

gardening purpose.

4.6 Soil classification

The soils in and around the project site is of two types. One is mixed, calcareous, fine, loamy soil

while other one is clayey to fine calcareous, montomorillonitic soil.

Based on the geotechnical investigation report the soil profile has been outlined with details of

classification

4.6.1 Marine Soil Classification

The top layer is very thin Silty fine to medium sand with rock or shell fragments at some

places (approx. 0.5m) with dense layer.

The second layer is a very weak to moderately dense weathered sandstone (thickness ranging

from 1.5m to 7m).

In the third layer (below the weathered sandstone layer), there are variations. This layer

consists of Conglomerate and Sandstone at some locations. SPT values vary between 6 and

100.

In the layer below at a depth of 9.0 m, there are alternate layers of hard

Sandstone/Calcarenite in which SPT values exceed 40.

4.6.2 Land Soil Classification

The top layer is yellowish brown silty sand 0.5 m below ground level formed by disintegration

of parent bed rock materials.

The second layer is a brownish grey or yellowish brown sand stone bed rock. The bed rock is

completely weathered.

Soils in the study area are mostly loamy and calcareous in nature

Ground water levels are observed which varies from 1.5 m to 6.5 m below ground surface.
